Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the expression of G6PD protein in human leukemia and analyze the relationship between G6PD and leukemia. Methods: Immunohistochemical method was applied to detect the expression of G6PD protein in the bone marrow tissue of 35 leukemia patients and 35 cases of non-hematologic malignancies. Non-hematologic malignancies were used as control group. The comparison of G6PD protein rate in leukemia patents and the control was studied. Results: The positive expression rate of G6PD protein was 25.7%(9/35)in leukemia patients and 2.9%(1/35)in control. Data showed a statistically significant difference in G6PD expression between the two groups (P <0.05). Conclusion: G6PD protein was high expressed in leukemia, which needed further study.

Key words: G6PD protein, leukemia, immunohistochemistry
